Availability Modelling of POTS on a Hybrid/Fibre Coax Network A Power Perspective

摘要

This paper outlines the contribution that powering makes to the plain old telephone service (POTS) availability on an integrated hybrid/fibre coax (IHFC) customer access network. POTS reliability is recognised as a highly important performance metric by Telstra. Thus, new technologies such as those of the IHFC architectures will need to exhibit an availability performance that maintains the public's confidence and perception of POTS as a lifeline service.
